The session of the grand jury this time
was one of the shortest on record lasting
only two days, hut an immense amount OF
work was done, sixty-seven indictments

was general that no attention was to be
paid to them this time But plenty OF
evidence seems TO have been obtained from

comes into town on Saturday and Sunday
